In this activity, students will learn about population movement, migration trends, and the westward expansion of the early 1800s. First, students will create a line graph that depicts changes in aggregated population data from 1800 to 1850 for Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Ohio. Using this graph, students will make data comparisons and draw conclusions. Next, students will compare the populations of several states between 1790 and 1850 and make conclusions that demonstrate their understanding of population trends in northern and southern states. This activity can spark discussion of sectionalism, slavery, and the different economic climate that took shape in the northern and southern states in the early 1800s.

In the long nineteenth century, women joined numerous movements that fought for labor rights, suffrage, abolition, universal education, and health care reforms. These reform movements would lead to the passage of legislation that enshrined equal rights into constitutions around the world. Historically, women’s contributions to science had been overlooked, with their discoveries often credited to men. But women’s scientific discoveries advanced our knowledge of the Universe—the Big Bang, stars, chemical elements, dark matter, evolution—and many fields of study. These lessons highlight women’s political and scientific contributions from the long nineteenth century to the present. In the final lesson, students use their inquiry and research skills to investigate a woman who inspires them. . Length: Three lessons. Each lesson should take two or three 50-minute class periods.
